Jammers, S.M.M. (author), Paarlberg, AJ (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are constructed in the River Waal in the Netherlands. They are aligned parallel to the river shore and divide the river into a main and side channel. The existing groynes are removed yielding more discharge capacity at high flows. The side channel creates possibly a ...abstract 2017

Koopmans, H. (author), Huismans, Y (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Variable flows and fast morphological changes characterize the river system of Bangladesh, which includes the downstream reaches and delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, two of the largest rivers in the world. In contrast, fresh water supply around the country largely depends on much smaller distributaries that take off from those large...abstract 2017

Weisscher, S.A.H. (author), Baar, A.W. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Kleinhans, MG (author)Lateral sorting (= bend sorting) is observed in natural meanders, where the inner and outer bend are fairly fine and coarse, respectively (e.g. Julien and Anthony, 2002; Clayton and Pitlick, 2007). This is caused by the mass differences between grains on a transverse slope, leading to coarser grains being...abstract 2017

Bryant, S. (author), Mosselman, E. (author)The 10 km wide Jamuna river in Bangladesh is one of the most morphologically active rivers in the world, with bank erosion rates of up to 500 m per year (Mutton and Haque 2004). Such extreme river migration in the center of Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated and impoverished regions in the world...abstract 2017

Mulatu, C.A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Mynett, A.E. (author)The Ribb River is one of the components of the Blue Nile River system located in the North Western part of Ethiopia. It drains to Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile River. The Ribb has a length of 130 km, with a catchment area of 1,812 km2. The average yearly rainfall of the catchment is 1300 mm, with...abstract 2017

Duro, G. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Kleinhans, M (author), Crosato, A. (author)Waterways serve for several functions besides transporting goods and people. The ecological importance of navigable rivers has taken much attention during recent decades bringing efforts to improve these natural corridors for fauna and flora (Boeters et al., 1997). Following the policy of the European Water...abstract 2017

Baar, A.W. (author), Weisscher, S.A.H. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Kleinhans, MG (author)We experimentally tested the effect of a largerange in helical flow intensity and sedimentmobility on equilibrium transverse slopes,which resulted in a function for slope effectsdepending on bed state and sedimenttransport mode, that deviates from linearfunctions with sediment mobility in literature...abstract 2017

Roest, Lambertus W.M. (author)The Sand Engine is an example of a feeder nourishment that is intended to nourish coastal systems. This strategy is based on placing sediments highly concentrated at one location, from which it is expected to spread alongshore over large distances on decadal timescales.<br/><br/>Here the morphological development of the Sand Engine mega feeder...abstract 2018

Chavarrias Borras, V. (author), Ottevanger, W. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author), Blom, A. (author)The set of equations used in modelling river morphodynamics needs to be (at least) wellposed to be representative of the real natural phenomenon. As we deal with a time dependent process the solution needs to be wave-like to be well-posed. In other words, the solution must have a domain of dependence and of...abstract 2017

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Recently, engineers propose longitudinal training walls to replace traditional transverse groynes. This new intervention is expected to maintain a navigation route under low flow conditions while not hampering flow conveyance of the river channel. Navigation occurs mainly in low-land river channels where ...abstract 2017

(author), Savenije, Hubert (author)An estuary forms the transition between the ocean/sea and a river and within its boundaries fresh and salt water mix. Fresh water intake points may be located within the reach of salt intrusion. In order to justify political and managerial decisions it is thus necessary to understand and be able to predict...abstract 2017

Bonilla Porras, J.A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Although many studies regarding bank erosion and accretion can be found in the literature, it is not common to find works studying the interaction between opposite banks. Some existing morphodynamic models describe bank erosion as an event that depends on near-bank flow and bed topography, as well as on...abstract 2017

Ostanek Jurina, T. (author), Mosselman, E. (author)Large braided rivers have many beneficial roles, from provision of water for agriculture and means of transport to various ecosystem services. However, they are geomorphologically active, which results in problems with bank erosion and navigability. Some of the largest rivers may have bank line shifts of...abstract 2017

Metz, I.C. (author), Muhlhausen, Thorsten (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author), Kügler, D. (author)The presented research evaluates the concept of providing an airport’s Air Traffic Control with a bird strike advisory system. Such a system informs the controller about current and predicted bird movements in the arrival and departure corridors. Based on this information, the controller can decide to delay or reroute air traffic in order to...abstract 2017

Metz, I.C. (author), Muhlhausen, Thorsten (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Bird strikes have the potential to cause severe damage to aircraft. Therefore, measures to reduce the risk of bird strikes are performed at airports. However, this risk is not limited to the airport but is increased in the arrival and departure corridors as well. Consequently, a significant amount of bird strikes occurs outside the direct...abstract 2018

According to quantum mechanics, there exists a class of observables for which is possible to confine the perturbation produced by a continuous measurement to the conjugate variable. Therefore, it is possible to devise experimental schemes that allow estimating the observed variable with arbitrary accuracy, or preparing...abstract 2017
